The anchor point where a hair grows from the scalp is called the follicle. The cuticle is the outer layer of the hair shaft that protects the inner layers. The cortex is the middle layer of the hair shaft that gives it its structure and color. The medulla is the innermost layer of the hair shaft that is sometimes absent. The shaft is the visible part of the hair above the scalp.
